I have done this with Luminous by deep-flattening a clone in a different pool. 
It seemed to do what I wanted, but the RBD appeared to lose its sparseness in 
the process. Can anyone verify that and/or comment on whether Mimic's "rbd deep 
copy" does the same?

The "rbd clone" command will just create a copy-on-write cloned child of the 
source image. It will not copy any snapshots from the original image to the 
clone.

With the Luminous release, you can use "rbd export --export-format 2 
<image-spec> - | rbd import --export-format 2 - <image-spec>" to export / 
import an image (and all its snapshots) to a different pool.
Additionally, with the Mimic release, you can run "rbd deep copy" to copy an 
image (and all its snapshots) to a different pool.
